A Chinese diplomat in The Netherlands <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RibiaoChen\/status\/1250078991106674689?s=20\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">went on social media<\/a> to accuse U.S. officials of spreading misinformation about the public health crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Chinas ambassador to France Lu Shaye Wednesday criticized the French media for an alleged lack of independence in a series of tweets. \u201cTheyre always following the American media,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AmbassadeChine\/status\/1255501631526965249\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">said.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As the world grapples with the coronavirus crisis, Chinas diplomats are waging an online information war.<\/p>\n<p>A POLITICO review of social media messages by more than 100 Chinese officials showed a sizable increase in the number of posts since the COVID-19 crisis began in early 2020. Alongside more mundane content, some of Beijings diplomats have promoted content harshly critical of both United States <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/beijing-doubles-down-in-eu-propaganda-battle\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">and the European Union<\/a>, dismissed criticism of how China handled the global outbreak and amplified skewed content from Russian state-backed outlets with track records of widespread misinformation.<\/p>\n<p>The ramped-up activity coincides with warnings from Western diplomats and misinformation experts that Beijing has changed its online tactics in the wake of last years Hong Kong pro-democracy protests. Increasingly, China has become more aggressive in promoting itself on Western social media, tapping into existing populist sentiment online that is already undermining trust in democratic systems among U.S. and EU voters.<\/p>\n<p>The online push comes as the global response to the coronavirus pandemic becomes a political tug-of-war, with state-backed actors including those from China and Russia flexing their muscles to promote messaging to audiences at home and abroad. In the latest example of diplomatic pressure, Chinese officials successfully <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/china-put-pressure-on-eu-to-soften-coronavirus-disinformation-report\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">leaned on the EU<\/a> last week to water down its criticism of Beijings disinformation tactics linked to COVID-19.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> \u201cIf Russia is a tropical storm, then China is climate change.\u201d \u2014 <em>J\u0101nis S\u0101rts, director of the NATO Strategic Communications Center of Excellence<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAs soon as the coronavirus jumped out of China, the narratives shifted to play up the benevolence of China,\u201d said Bret Schafer, a media and digital disinformation fellow at the German Marshall Funds Alliance for Securing Democracy. \u201cAnd when Donald Tump started aggressively pushing against Chinas response, they started to change again to point the fingers at the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A spokesman for Chinas mission to the EU did not return a request for comment on how the country communication strategy has changed during the ongoing public health crisis that <a href=\"https:\/\/coronavirus.jhu.edu\/map.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">has left almost 220,000 people dead<\/a> worldwide.<\/p>\n<h3>Enormous capabilities<\/h3>\n<p>Beijings social media push comes amid a groundswell of half-truths, rumors and outright lies about the coronavirus.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Western politicians, including President U.S. President Donald Trump and Brazils Jair Bolsonaro, have sowed doubt by promoting dubious or false theories about who created the virus and how it can be treated. People from Berlin to Boston <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/facebook-misinformation-fake-news-coronavirus-covid19\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">have also taken to social media<\/a> to spout bogus claims to others in search of answers.<\/p>\n<p>To analyze Chinas social media strategy, Schafer and Kristine Berzina, a senior fellow at the Alliance for Securing Democracy, reviewed the activity of more than 135 official Chinese diplomatic Twitter accounts. The number of posts, collectively, has risen roughly four-fold since April 2019, when the political unrest in Hong Kong took off, <a href=\"https:\/\/securingdemocracy.gmfus.org\/hamilton-dashboard\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">according to their analysis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That marks a stark change.<\/p>\n<p>In December, just as the world was beginning to wake up to the coronavirus threat, the Chinese Twitter accounts, which at the time totaled around 100, were collectively publishing up to 4,000 posts on the social media network each month. Now, the combined monthly number has more than quadrupled to 17,000 tweets, although that figure also includes an influx of new Chinese diplomat accounts since January.<\/p>\n<p>Beijings \u201cuse of Twitter feels experimental,\u201d said Berzina in reference to Chinas evolving social media activities. \u201cThe strategy on Twitter could quickly change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As would be expected from an authoritarian state, many Chinese diplomats on social media (as well as government accounts linked to state media outlets and other agencies) promote content hailing Beijings achievements, including the countrys support for other nations in responding to the current public health crisis.<\/p>\n<p>But others are significantly more aggressive, according to a review conducted by the Alliance for Securing Democracy and POLITICOs own independent analysis.<\/p>\n<p>In Paris, where the countrys official embassy account has more than 15,000 followers, one post promoted <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AmbassadeChine\/status\/1254319415161741315?s=20\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">content<\/a> from a U.S. fringe website that attacked claims from some U.S. officials that the virus escaped from a Chinese laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, the same Paris-based account <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AmbassadeChine\/status\/1238372362371977217\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">retweeted accusations<\/a>, also made on Twitter, by Zhao Lijian, a senior official in Chinas ministry of foreign affairs, that the U.S. military may have brought the virus to China. \u201cWhen did patient zero start in the United States?,\u201d the account wrote in a post that garnered six retweets. \u201cThe U.S. owes us an explanation!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Paris embassy is aggressive with its own tweets,\u201d said Schafer. \u201cTheyre willing to defend themselves online.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lu Shaye, the Chinese ambassador to Paris, acknowledged a change in communications strategy in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lopinion.fr\/edition\/international\/lu-shaye-ambassadeur-chine-nous-n-en-serions-pas-si-occidentaux-216612\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an interview<\/a> with French newspaper LOpinion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChinese diplomats respond more and more to baseless affirmations from the Western media,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause in the past China didnt respond to this kind of attacks, today some are surprised to see it react,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h3>Latching onto content<\/h3>\n<p>Chinese officials have relayed rumors, conspiracy theories and misinformation spread by state-backed media from Russia, Iran and Venezuela. So far, this strategy is more ad hoc, left to individual accounts, than a coordinated campaign directed from Beijing, according to a review of these posts by POLITICO.<\/p>\n<p>In Caracas, Li Baorong, the countrys ambassador to Venezuela, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeonelTeleSUR\/status\/1255153697471860736?s=20\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">shared several posts<\/a> from Telesur, the local state media outlet, criticizing how the U.S. and European countries had handle<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/china-disinformation-covid19-coronavirus\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[contf] [contfnew]         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snap.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/politico-logo.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">politico<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[contfnewc] [contfnewc]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beijings consul general in Kolkata, India promoted a social ..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":143665,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-143664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
